The idea of a "Lasalle Street tax" terrifies me. Few things would make me leave Chicago, but that might necessitate me leaving. Few things could put the entire state at risk, but that's one of them. Few things could so quickly and directly destroy one of the city's most important industries, but that's one.
I can't even understand how anyone is still even talking about that tax. It would cause massive departure of the trading industry players and, as they leave, the tax would stop collecting revenue. So not only would you kill one of your golden geese, you wouldn't even get anything in return!
